UPDATE! Samson Siasia Emerges New Super Eagles Coach

Former Super Eagles coach, Samson Siasia, has been re-appointed coach of
the national team. Siasia got the big job back on Friday as replacement
for his former colleague, Sunday Oliseh, who resigned.

Siasia will work with respected tactician Salisu Yusuf, FIFA U-17 World
Cup – winner Emmanuel Amuneke and Alloy Agu for the upcoming 2017 Africa
Cup of Nations qualifiers against Egypt.
Recall that Siasia worked as Eagles’ Head Coach between December 2010
and October 2011, before his contract was terminated following the
team’s failure to qualify for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.

Amuneke led the Nigeria U-17 male to a fifth FIFA World Cup title in
Chile in 2015. Salisu Yusuf and Alloy Agu were in the immediate past
crew led by Oliseh.

I wish Siasia well in his new job, hoping that he has learnt his lessons from past experience(s).
